Ir is estimated that the Chicago, Nil
waukee and st. Paul will issue not less
than 10000 annual passes for 1887. Of
this number, between 5000 and 1000
complimentaries TO the officials of other
roads, The Chicago Northwestern has
its general Offices in Chicago, and prob
ably issues even more passes than the
St. Paul road, as IL is located in larger
city, although the rules for that road for
issuance are much more strict than on
any other northwestern railway line.
IN New York and vicinity it is estimat-
ed there are seventy-Gye toboggan clubs.
The tobaggans in general use are made
of stats of rock maple, Kindred and
highly finished. Three oi the Stats are
slightly thicker than the others, and are
provided with a steel shoe, which is fast
ened by fanges that are turned into the
wood in such way that no bolts, screws
ore riyots are used anywhere along the
bearing surface.

A QuAEER city physician has invented
method of carrying refreshments that
is likely to become popular in prohibit
ton states. His invention is a little cup
sule of rubber, looking much like q grape
which is filed with wine or liquor, and
distended until IL assumes the form and
semblanee Of a large and juicy fruit.
These grapes are tilled with variety Of
bibulants, old rye whisky, Holland gin,
handy, port, sherry or cordials to the
extont of about u pony glass full. The
thin rubber breaks as easily as a grape
skin between the teeth and no one would
think they were not real grapes.
TuE well known and reliable statisti-
cipn, Edward Atkinson, has answered
certain questions put by Senator George,
of Mississippi on the subject of capital
and labor, with some very interesting and
significant figures. He shows, for in
stance, that the present average yearly
rate of wages in this country is $3.50 in
gold, against $l6S in gold in 1860 and
thai a years earnings viii now buy 2,4oo
daily portions of the nocessaries of life,
whereas a years earnings in 1850 would
purchase only I,627 portions. 1t is i'm
possible to doubt, in the feco OF these
statistics, that the workingmen of the
United States ARE doing infinitely better
than they did before the war, while in all
other couutries the condition of the la
boring classes is worse in every respect
than i. was no that time.
A WELL that for forty years has furh-
ished water for large community of

MAsoSs AGAINST LIQUOR.
An Edict Which IL Exciting Mis-
HOuTI's Masonic Lodges.

ST. LOUIS, June 5.-The $50 Masonic
lodges in the state Of Missouri are very
much excited over m edict recently pro.
mulgated by Robert q. Hunt, the Grand
Master, ordering the suspension OF oil
Masons engaged in the liquor business.
The edict is q result of u resolution
adopted by the Grand Lodge OF the state
in 1882, but which has until now re-
manned dead letter. The resolution set
forth that the business of liquor dealing
was unmasonic, and that all Masons
engaged In the business would be liable
to suspension and expulsion. Two
weeks ago Grand Master Hunt promul-
gated the ediot to the subordinate lodges,
calling on them TO suspend all Masons
engaged in the liquor selling. This has
caused groat rumpuR,a as fully 100 promi.
nent Masons in this city are engaged in
the business, These are hotel proprietors.
restaurant keepers and large saloon pro-
prietors, many of whom have been Masons
for 25 years. The lodges in tho city are
unit against the edict, and claim that il
is unmasonic, because respectable liquor
dealing Is Legitimate business.

from the Ohoctaw Nation are to the effect
that tho trouble between the fullbloodh

and has In many cases ended in blood
shed, The governor of the nation and
local authorities are doing all in their
power to preserve peace and protect lives

bottom Of the trouble are desperadoes,
many of whom have price on their
heads, hence peaceful settlement seems
impossible. Rumors of murders and
deeds OF lawlessness fly thick and fast,
while many families continue to leave the
country.
There is an Unsurpassed bitterness
against whites who have intermarried
with Choctaw women, thus acquiring
rights in the nation and these "squaw
men" as they are termed, are objects OF
persecution. Many of the full.blooda
urge the expulsion OF every white
man in Ohoctaw territory, giving
as reason that they arc dan.
